No, but it is owned by qmaild:nofiles, the user qmail-smtpd is running as. My setup is not the same as the toaster docs. Only because we do things just a bit differently. So yes, I believe the permissions are correct.

Test server hosed it's hard drive. It will be a be awhile before I can get back to this. Dang!

Subject: [toaster] Toaster patch and Spamthrottle

Good morning all,

I am trying to get several things added to our mail system, spamthrottle
and SSL. I recently installed toaster patch 0.8.3 after having problems
getting spamthrottle, qmail-tap, maildir++ and checkuser to patch into
netqmail. Toaster worked beautifully, thank you.

I was able to get SSL working for pop3d and smtp-auth no problems. I
then started testing spamthrottle and I have two issues. Note that the
spamthrottle URL is unreachable, I have tried several times over the
past week.

First, I could not get spamthrottle to create any directories in
/var/qmail/spam. Looking through the archives it would seem I have
everything configured correctly.

spamt/spamt.cdb: Modified recently enough; hopefully up to date.

spamt.cdb (defaults):
         throttle constant: none (spam throttling not active)
         throttle max: no maximum
         reasonable recipient count: unlimited
         pre-DATA flush? no
         teergrubing periodicity: not active
         spam throttle (state) directory: construct 32-bit directory
from remote IP
         other active network blocks (bits): 32

This seem incorrect to me as my spamt file contains the following,
10.0.241.0/32:noc-throttle:2000:200000:flush:25:2:Too Many Connections:
192.168.40.0/32:vpn1-throttle:1:2:flush:25:2:Too Many Connections:
192.168.32.0/32:vpn2-throttle:1:2:flush:25:2:Too Many Connections:
.

I am connecting from the 192.168.32.0 network, but no directory. If I
put a default entry in like ":public:1500:120000::::::", then
qmail-showctl shows spamthrottle is active. I even get a directory
created, but not for vpn2-throttle, just for public. I am having a hard
time understanding this behavior.

Second I suspected something else might be the issue and I looked
through the toaster archives, finding this posting.

http://www.mail-archive.com/toaster@shupp.org/msg01714.html

Which confused me more because my test above which created the
/var/qmail/spam/public directory was done via smtp-auth and SSL. I would
think smpt-auth would have set the relayclient and no directories would
be created.

Throttling all connections is exactly what I am after, relay client set
or not. I need to stop the zombies from sending outbound mail through
us. We monitor heavily, and we kill internet access for a user
immediately when we notice excessive activity, but often the damage is
already done. I want to limit outbound traffic from the get go. Looking
through the source code for spamthrottle I do not see where the value of
relayclient is used. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

DAve
